Inside The Bills

Bills DE Spencer Johnson will return from a hamstring injury that’s forced him to miss the past two games. Being back for this game will hold a little extra meaning for the veteran defensive lineman.

Johnson got his start in the NFL as an undrafted rookie with the Minnesota Vikings and played his way onto the roster. Now he’ll face that Vikings team, which still has a lot of familiar faces.

Johnson’s availability comes at just the right time as he’s expected to start in place of the injured Dwan Edwards. Alex Carrington and John McCargo also figure to be active for Sunday’s game in Minnesota.

“We get Spencer back this week, but we’ve got a pretty good rotation there now,” said Chan Gailey. “We’ve got a lot of guys playing for us.”
